It's restored, it looks and sounds identical to how it did when it was first made.

I contend that such a condition is impossible because it is unknowable. But you all seem to be under the impression that I want only a special edition version with cleaned effects. I think it would be a plus but its certainly not mandatory. I'd be completely happy with a warts and all restoration. I'd also be happy with one that had a bit of an upgrade.

Let's face it - the chances of a Lucasfilm-produced restoration are very small. If it is done, it would most likely be the low-key cleanup with no changes to the original material that most people want. My idealized version won't ever happen. The opportunity was there but the SE project blew it. Still doesn't mean I can't discuss it and why I'd like such a version.

I posted this thread to find out what people would/would not like to see in a restored Star Wars. Now I know. I don't see how I can be "wrong" though - that's why this is a debate. I'm interested in the debate, not the final verdict of who is correct.
